Wanna bet the hurricane is not going to blow up a bunch of oil rigs,
refineries and loading ports?

Not me.

This may be the $3.00 gas scenario they talk about ... like about
tuesday!.


There was a show on FX about 3 months ago, called "Oil Storm". Is Katrina
the real life "Oil Storm"?

Oil crisis film takes market fears to living rooms

Deepa Babington, Reuters
Think $55 a barrel oil is bad? Wait till a hurricane knocks out a U.S.
pipeline and a port at the same time that militants are killing hostages in
Saudi Arabia, sending oil prices over $150 a barrel.

That's the premise of "Oil Storm," a television docudrama set to premiere in
the United States on Sunday. The movie uses exaggerated real life events and
fictional characters to examine America's dependence on oil and the havoc a
major disruption in supply could wreak on ordinary people.

The movie depicts -- albeit in the extreme -- what energy markets have spent
much of the past year fretting about: hurricanes that can rip apart oil
infrastructure and war and turbulence in the Middle East, which have driven
crude prices to record highs.

And the writers aim to show why the intricacies of oil rigs and oil reserves
should be as much a concern for average Americans, with their taste for gas
guzzling SUVs and summer road trips, as they are for traders at the New York
Mercantile Exchange.

"Everything is so interconnected that anything that happens in Saudi Arabia
or China will have an impact on oil, and therefore an impact on you or I in
terms of what happens at the pump," said Caroline Levy, its British producer
and co-writer.
